Chapter 9 The rivers and lakes are not peaceful
Right now, the rivers and lakes are peaceful.
But the abbot and the master were not too optimistic.
The master and the abbot always chanted, the rivers and lakes are peaceful, not good.
The abbot said that the rivers and lakes are too peaceful, and people are easy to be comfortable, and when a person is in the rivers and lakes but forgets that he is a person from the rivers and lakes, then the rivers and lakes are almost over. When a person is in the rivers and lakes, but there are no things to do, then there will be nothing in the world in the future.
Life is too comfortable, the people in the rivers and lakes themselves don't even ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and they no longer dance knives and guns, which is troublesome. Anyway, there is something to do, so that the people in the rivers and lakes feel that the rivers and lakes are not peaceful, and there is still a crisis, even if they are chased and killed, it is okay, at least let people realize that the rivers and lakes are still there.
Think about it, the people in the rivers and lakes are too lazy to hold knives, no more swords, no more guns, and even lose the fighting style, then the rivers and lakes really can't become rivers and lakes. Fresh clothes and angry horses, swords like dreams, happy revenge, all gone, the rivers and lakes are still extinct. It's a terrible thing to think about.
It stands to reason that the rivers and lakes are peaceful, and they are all safe, which is also very good, no need to lick blood with a knife, and no need to worry about it.
But the abbot said, when the score is scored.
Because, right now, the court is also very peaceful.
It is said that the imperial court had just put down the frontier rebellion, and the invasion of foreign tribes that had been tossed for several years was also eradicated by the imperial court. The world has been in good weather year after year, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. It's really a peaceful and prosperous time, how good.
But to put it another way, the court is also boring.
It's just that the head of this court is a master who will win the world immediately, and he loves to fight in the field all his life, and he has lived an unconscious life for most of his life. finally the world was peaceful, but the old emperor found that he was used to the life of the first half of his life, and he really couldn't adapt to the peace in the world all of a sudden. It's uncomfortable when there's nothing to do for a day, itchy hands when you don't do it for three days, and no day is comfortable for old bones.
In a word, the emperor wants to find something to do.
The entire court has to accompany the trouble.
How can anyone in the rivers and lakes care who the emperor is, the iron-beaten rivers and lakes, and the emperor of flowing water.
The affairs in the rivers and lakes naturally have to be solved in the way of the people of the rivers and lakes, the debts are repaid, and the people who kill people to pay for their lives, and there is naturally a set of ways for the people in the rivers and lakes to deal with it, that is, they can't report to the government, and reporting to the officials is simply a loss of face for the people of the rivers and lakes, after all, the rivers and lakes and the government are completely two independent systems.
This has been the case for generations, and the people of the rivers and lakes have solved the affairs of the rivers and lakes by themselves, and they have nothing to do with each other.
The government has never cared about the fighting in the rivers and lakes, and the government has never cared about it, and it does not mean that the government is tolerant if it doesn't ask. The government is very busy dealing with its own murders, not to mention the usual ordinary people's families who steal chickens and dogs, trivial matters, and the short and in the parents is even more of a headache, in this case, who can take care of the fight on the rivers and lakes. No matter who he is, he doesn't want to have another job wiping someone else's ass. What's more, the shit in the rivers and lakes is very smelly in their eyes, and I'm afraid that they have been stunned by this piece of foreign body before they see their buttocks, and everyone is afraid to avoid it.
When there is chaos in the imperial court, every time there are grievances in the rivers and lakes, and people are killed, it is not a matter in the eyes of the government, and even wish that all the people in the rivers and lakes would fight to death, so that the government saves effort, and the court can rest assured that the rivers and lakes will be peaceful in the future, and the eyes and ears of the court will be much cleaner, wouldn't everyone be happy.
At that time, the government changed its methods to encourage the fighting of the rivers and lakes. The government first closed its two eyes, as long as it was out of line, it didn't matter how many people died. If there were more deaths, and the premise was that the innocent people who ate melons were not harmed, the government would not only close their eyes, but also block their ears. Turning a blind eye and hearing nothing, it is really difficult to explain it when it is tracked down from above, anyway, it is all a vendetta in the rivers and lakes, a symbolic visit, just pick a good person in the rivers and lakes to take the blame, and close the case hastily, and then casually send a notice of a bounty or something, and declare it all at once, anyway, no one will really arrest them back.
Whether the court asks about the affairs of the rivers and lakes depends on the emperor's mood.
This time is different, the head of the court is in a bad mood, and if he wants to make trouble, which official will dare to do something perfunctory.
The rivers and lakes are not going to be peaceful.
Jianghu people generally do not take the initiative to provoke the court, let you gang cattle, have many disciples, and have high martial arts, and do not take the initiative to oppose the court.
In a word, there are many people.
There are armies, and they are all regular.
The army's single force value may not be as good as that of the people in the rivers and lakes, but it can win in well-trained, outnumbered people, well-equipped, long-range strikes, and melee sieges.
In the rivers and lakes, you have good fists and feet, and you are ruthless, and you can beat you.
You can kill one person, ten people, a hundred people, and you will destroy one sect.
What about the army? Lining up for you to kill can also exhaust you.
After all, no matter how powerful a person is, he is still a mortal in the flesh.
What's more, the world of rivers and lakes is declining, and there are not many people in the rivers and lakes who fight alone.
In the past, it was the strength of the fight, the level of personal martial arts, the winner was not proud, and the person who was defeated was also convinced to lose, and he would not be upset.
Now the world has changed, it is not the strength that fights, but the power, who has a big gang, many gangs, and more money, who is the best.
It can be seen that silver is indeed a good thing.
The rivers and lakes are so big that it can be said that the whole world is rivers and lakes. The problem is that many people forget a sentence, the whole world is not the king's land.
In the end, the Jianghu people finally found out. It turned out that the imperial court was the biggest force.
The people in the rivers and lakes are like wild wolves, and the people in the court are sheep.
A wolf is still a wolf, and a sheep is still a sheep.
But one wolf trampled 10,000 sheep to death.
This is the power of the imperial court.
The world is peaceful, and the rivers and lakes are suffering.
Putting aside the old master's temperament of the imperial court, no matter who is the emperor, there is such a river and lake under his nose, and he will not sleep too peacefully.
Think about it, such a large group of people, fist and foot kung fu is also good, and they still have guys in their hands, let themselves go, wandering around their own territory, I'm afraid no one will rest assured.
Once something happens, it's also a headache.
The court is not stupid.
To deal with the rivers and lakes, the imperial court is also painstaking.
There are many people in the rivers and lakes who want to give up the life of the rivers and lakes, look for opportunities to blend into the imperial court, and live the life of the imperial court. At this time, these people were falling into the hands of the imperial court. The imperial court took this opportunity to recruit many martial arts experts to become officials, serve as military positions, with high salaries and good benefits, and then use their experience in the rivers and lakes to contain the people in the rivers and lakes.
Ready for this, the court began to buy people's hearts again.
The head of the court is called the emperor, and the court will set up a leader for everyone in the rivers and lakes, and choose a person from the rivers and lakes to be the leader of the martial arts alliance. In the future, the people in the rivers and lakes will obey the arrangement of the martial arts alliance leader. After all, there are so many people in the rivers and lakes, and it is really difficult to manage it yourself, so it is better to leave the worries to the martial arts alliance master, and the imperial court only needs to manage the martial arts alliance leader alone.
What should I do if the leader of the martial arts alliance is disobedient? This is easy to solve, kill it, and set up a new one.
What if you don't obey you? Kill again, find another one. There are so many people in the rivers and lakes, there is always one person who will be obedient and willing to be obedient.
The court's abacus is very good, first win over from the big head, find a way to get the leader of the martial arts alliance, and appease and buy. and then use the people from the rivers and lakes to kill the disobedient little miscellaneous fish.
With both soft and hard, both grace and power, the rivers and lakes are easily in the hands of the imperial court.
The abacus played very loudly, but it was a little unsatisfactory. The imperial court calculated everything, but it did not calculate that the imperial court could kill the leader of the martial arts alliance, and the people in the rivers and lakes could also kill the leader of the martial arts alliance. The imperial court greatly underestimated the extent of the outlaw of the Jianghu people.
The imperial court finally found someone who could not only be the leader of the martial arts alliance, but also willing to be obedient, and finally felt that there was no need to bother anymore.
As a result, the next day, this martial arts alliance leader was hacked to death with a sword!
